From Russia, in the war in Ukraine, “many soldiers have been sent to the fray, at least the conscripts, many other Putins intend to sacrifice to his insane vision. I do not know what perception there is in the Russian public opinion of what is happening “, General Leonardo Tricarico, former Chief of Staff of the Air Force, told the Adnkronos about the losses in the Russian armed forces. according to General Tricarico, “it is to be hoped that the feeling of rebellion against real criminal orders will prevail on the fear of repression “.
“It is impossible to know the objectives that Putin has in mind, but they are certainly ambitious” said General Tricarico following the speech by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Luznki stadium in Moscow. “There is already a definable negotiating basis today and we could focus on Ukraine’s final status, but it does not seem that Putin wants to sit down at the table and start negotiations on this basis“he adds.
“The international community that has title and strength, like China – he underlines – should set up a contact group and take away any room for improper maneuver in Putin, convincing him by hook or by crook”.
On the defense expensesGeneral Tricarico observes: “When Berlusconi was in government and said that the intention was to bring defense spending to 1.5% of GDP, we all smiled, we classified it as a good intention and, at era we were at 0.9% of GDP, we were all quite skeptical that that result could be achieved. Then, with the arrival of Minister Guerini, we saw a real turnaround which, however, still places us among the most parks contributors, from a financial point of view, to the functioning of NATO. This 2%, ‘given’ by Putin, is certainly a remarkable result of the Italian defense “.
“I believe that the direction we perceived in the words of the President of the Council must be followed with the utmost rigor, that is the certainty that in large part the surpluses compared to previous allocations go to feed a European identity and the creation of an army – he concludes – There is nothing to invent and above all we need to ensure that the European defense world takes over the reins of decisions and gives clear indications on the choices to be made in the industrial sector “.
